Summary: OK I guess
Comment: My bf loves it but the only bad thing is that there is no catcher so now I have to clean the sink constantly...grrrr

Summary: Whisker Wonderland!
Comment: I am ecstatic over my new Cool Skin 8040x! This small wonder delivers everything it advertises and then some. I have used other electric razors without finding any that I liked so I have been unhappily dragging a cheap twin blade across my face for years now. The fact that wife may have used the same razor on who knows what before I got to it also taints the whole experience since the blades would be too dull for words. I did some searching for an electric solution and happened across the Philips Norelco line of products and I took a chance on this one after reading reviews on this site. I felt I had to write a report as well. Great razor...buy one! Ciao

Summary: VERY NICE ITEM FOR A REASONABLE PRICE, A BIT CHEAP LOOK AND MISSING A STRAP FOR HANGING
Comment: VERY NICE ITEM FOR A REASONABLE PRICE, A BIT CHEAP LOOK AND MISSING A STRAP FOR HANGING.
OVERALL ITS A GOOD PRODUCT THAT I USED IT ON A DAILY BASIS.
I WILL RANK IT 8 OUT OF 10.

Summary: Nice wet shave, HORRIBLE dry shave
Comment: I got to use one of these recently. To summarize:
Pros
- really smooth shave when used wet (I mean, I didn't feel a thing)
- can be used with Nivea lotion (supplied), lather, foam or just wet your face
- easy to use (even refilling it with the lotion is not as hard as it seems)
- comes with detachable sideburn trimmer, which can be stored in the charging stand.
Now, Cons
- horrible dry shave - don't ever try it in the morning - it feels like it's pulling hair, not cutting it, missing half of it anyhow
- 4 hr charge? (really? - almost anything above $100 charges in less than an hour)
- BAD trade-off: you can take it in the shower, it's fully water-proof, but the blades are rudimentary - it's only three blades (as opposed to high end Norelco 9-bladed ones w/3 blades on each head) and it has slots only (no holes like in 8000 Norelco). Hence, the crappy shave.
- I already mentioned smooth, but LONG shave.
- Tedious maintenance
P.S. If you don't have a problem spending a little extra time shaving and shaving wet only - get it, it's one of the most plesant experiences. Nivea lotion rocks. I gave it four stars because despite all the downfalls, it FELT GOOD!

Summary: Decent
Comment: This is an interesting gadget. It adds a lubricating pump to an electric razor. I haven't used too many electric razors but this one seemed pretty smooth although it didn't provide as a good a shave as a regular razor. No irritation and not much mess either. The razor element seems a bit flimsy, even with the protective cover. As long as its not banged around too much it would make for a decent travel razor.
